Building Plates, Overlapping Color
Aug 29 - Sep 2, 2022
9AM-5PM
Concept
During this hands-on, experimental printmaking workshop, students explore many different nontoxic methods of creating intaglio plates, including plexiglass and mat board matrices, as well as solar plates. Color relationships are a prime consideration during the creation of imagery. Students are encouraged to think ahead about printing their plates (together or separately) in color with wiping/rolling techniques to utilize overlapping color areas. Complex color applications merge with various textures to create extraordinary effects and dynamic, multilayered, one-of-a-kind prints.
Media
Intaglio, collograph, silk aquatint, carborundum aquatint, solar plate etching, drypoint, relief rolling
